Kasilof report (plus a bonus limmerick!)

Seventeen sockeye swam into my net,
Seventeen sockeye as big as they get.
They escaped the com boats,
But I cut their little throats.
Seventeen sockeye their maker have met.

Ok, so I didn't really get 17 and the commercial boats weren't even out, and the one (yeah, that's right, what about it?) I did get wasn't all that big.

However, I do now realize the need to buy a real dipnet, not my homemade hand-me-down that came with the house we bought, and now I know that those nice big hoop nets my buddy was going to bring are only 3' in diameter. Hard to compete when a 5' hoop plops down a few feet right in front of my little fella (I have hoop envy).

Alright, here's the report: fish were said to be a little slow on the incoming this morning, however the outgoing produced pretty well. I'd say folks who were there through the whole tide probably got 5-10+ fish apiece if they had the right gear. The incoming this afternoon also began to produce for most folks, pretty much everyone but us. So, I figure if the com guys are off the water, and you have the proper gear, and you put in a couple of tide swings, you'd pick up a pretty fair number of fish.

I'm going to invest in a 5' hoop with a cross handle (and I might sneak off to Chitina in the meanwhile before the summer's out).

HEY! No fair resurrecting this thread, with my dismal dipnetting effort (although the limerick is good), especially in the light of all the CATCHING going on! Don't worry, I'm gonna have a good report soon enough and maybe, if you're lucky, a new limerick to go along with it. So there.
